Are you on the prowl for furniture? Maybe you're a newlywed who's starting to build your own home, a career woman who's moving into your very own bachelorette pad, or a mom who's looking for pieces for her soon-to-be college dormer. If you're working around a limited budget and limited space, what are the top three things that you should invest on?

We were able to chat with designer extraordinaire Ito Kish, who gave us a few pointers. For those who are not in the know, Ito Kish has been in the design industry for 25 years. He specializes in product design, interior decorating, as well as in store operation and merchandising and has been recognized both here and abroad. He's also the Visual Merchandise Director of Manila FAME: The Design and Lifestyle Event, as well as the designer and curator of the Garden Pavilion booth, which is one of the event's highlights.

As a bonus, we've added some photos of the said booth in the gallery below. Itching to find out what are this design expert's top picks? Take a look at the pictures below!
